Not only was I forgetful, repeating myself over and over while drinking, I found I was also this way when I wasn't drinking. At work my fellow co-workers, found humor in my forgetfullness, I laughed with them, but inside I felt tormented.
Now, almost 4 months sober, My mind and mental clarity is coming back to me.
I worked in an Alzheimer's Unit, several years ago...there are similarities, however, until there is a cure for it, there is no recovery.
There is no cure for us Alcoholics/Addicts either, but we can recover.
